Wait how are you clicking the back button to fix spelling errors? You said you were using quick reply which would actually take you away from the thread you were posting on. Are you sure you are using quick reply?

Well, I thought I switched it.

Well, I thought I switched it.

I think we may be having some crossed wires. There are two ways to post a reply, quick reply and advanced reply

Quick reply is like below where the reply box is either below the post you are replying to or at the bottom of the thread

Advanced is like follows where its on its own page

Uploaded photos are again sideways.

That's not really a forum issue but rather the camera taking the photo thats the problem. Some of them, mainly camera's on phones and especially the iPhone 'cheat' when it comes to changing a photo's orientation during the shooting of it. Rather than actually orientating the image it shoots them all in portrait with the home button being the bottom, then in the EXIF data it tells the device how it should be orientated. The problem is many pieces of software can't read the EXIF data so it uses the raw orientation. I'm not sure if its possible to use a plugin to read the EXIF data and sort out the orientation of images

I didn't say only iPhones though, they are the worst culprit as its an issue on every iPhone but I said its mainly (but not only) a phone problem. If your device cheats when it comes orientation and rather than orienting the image it just writes metadata about the orientation and relies on the software to orientate based on this metadata then you have issues with any software that can't use this metadata, web platforms such as vBulletin especially are prone to this.

Anyway if you could upload some of the problem images to this thread that would be appreciated

OOoh, I notice we have a gallery again, this is very exciting, thank you!

However I think it needs a bit of tweaking still (may be browser-specific) as it seems like images are being 'squished' to fit into the space which is resulting in some fairly weird distortions in some cases. Example attached...

Unfortunately it seems that the addition of the gallery is making some threads not load or take forever to load. I can't even load the Nail Polish Discussion thread on my phone, it just keeps crashing. On the PC it takes forever, I suspect it's because there are a lot of pictures in that thread, it's been going for several years, there must be thousands! Please sort it out asap!

Yes, I can't get the pages to load when I come here now. It's like dialup. Plus, it's messing up quoting & thanking buttons.

Ok thanks for the feedback everyone, yes it must be that the image gallery is overloaded when loading images from too far back. Will get this fixed asap.

Limited it to the last 20. Is that any better?

I'll add a feature so you can click a link and see all the images on a separate page if you want to see them all

It's loading fine for me, so it sounds like a good compromise.
